FindTime is an Outlook add-on for scheduling meetings. The meeting organizer can send multiple time options to attendees through FindTime, minimizing the back-and-forth email often involved in this type of scheduling.

FindTime shows what days and times work best for attendees using available free/busy data. You then propose your selected times to all attendees, allow everyone to vote, and quickly reach a consensus. FindTime works with attendees both inside and outside the University.

Watch Office of Open Learning’s student online learning assistant Anas Al-Chalabi as he demonstrates how to use FindTime in this 150-second Tech Talk video. If you want more information about using FindTime, click on the links in the Comments section below the video.
